The Game of Hilarious Com par i sons!

Apples to Apples

pro vides instant fun for four to ten players!

It’s as easy as comparing “apples to apples”… just open the box, deal the
cards, and you’re ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think
is best de scribed by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card,
you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge!

Each round is fi lled with surprising and out ra geous com par i sons from a wide
range of people, places, things, and events.

®

is the wild, award winning card and party game that

What’s in the Box

• Red Apple Cards – 749 cards, each featuring the name of a
person, place, thing, or event.

• Green Apple Cards – 249 cards, each featuring a char ac ter is tic
of a person, place, thing, or event.

• Blank Cards – 3 green and 7 red apple cards to write on and
personalize your game.

• Two Deluxe Card Trays

• Quick Play Rules

Setting Up

1. Open the red apple card packs and thoroughly mix all the red

apple cards. Evenly distribute them in the four deep wells in the
card trays.

2. Open the green apple card packs and thoroughly mix all the

green apple cards. Evenly distribute them in the two shallow
wells in the card trays.

Starting the Game

1. Place either card tray on the table. Set the box aside.

2. Choose a player to be the fi rst judge.

3. The judge deals seven red apple cards, face down, to each player

(including him or her self). Players may look at their cards.

Hold the cards in your hand like
this so you can see the card titles.

Playing the Game

1. The judge picks a green apple card from the top of the stack,
reads the word aloud, and places it face up on the table.

2. Players (except the judge) quickly choose the red apple card
from their hand that is best described by the word on the
green apple card played by the judge. Players place these red
apple cards face down on the table.

Quick Pick Option:

With fi ve or more players, you might want to try the Quick Pick
Option. The last red apple card placed on the table will not be
judged and is returned to that player’s hand.

3. The judge mixes the red apple cards so no one knows who
played which card. The judge turns over each red apple card,
reads it aloud, and then selects the one he or she thinks is
best described by the word on the green apple card. The player
of the selected red apple card is awarded the green apple card
played by the judge.

4. To keep score, players keep the green apple cards they have
won, on the table, until the end of the game.

5. The judge collects all of the red apple cards played during

that round and discards them into the box bottom.

6. The card tray, and the role of judge, pass to the player on the
left. The new judge deals enough red apple cards to bring each
player’s hand back up to seven.

7. Play continues following steps 1– 6 until someone has earned
enough green apple cards to win the game!
